Clare County Council is to close its Area Office in Westbury.

The local authority opened the office in a leased building in 2006, however that lease is set to expire in March and it won't be renewed.
In a statement to Clare FM, the council says the decision has been taken due to the lack of people using services there.
Excluding motor tax, a total of 400 contacts were made with the office throughout 2015, which equates to less than 10 contacts per week.
But Meelick Fianna Fail Councillor Cathal Crowe insists the closure is a big blow.
